Bios Passwords

In our house there is an old computer that we have not used in about a year. It's very old. (Back when they had windows 3.1) It has a bios password that we don't remember. Is there a way to remove/bypass the password. (Its AMIBIOS) If so how?

Yes, quite easily. Open up your computer and find the CMOS battery. Take it out, put it back in. Note that this will reset all of BIOS, not just the password. Depending on your CMOS and BIOS, there may be a way to reset the password more elegantly using jumpers; check your documentation.
